Me and some friends were thinking about making an online game with XNA game studio. Our games mainly used Winsock for the networking portion, but our most recent project used RakNet where the server was in C++ and the Client used a small RakNet wrapper I wrote. As far as I know XNA can't really use DLLs, so I was wondering what a good ne...

Hey all. I'm writing a simple client/server application (just for the experience, networking is fairly new to me) where the client sends the server data and the server outputs it to a textbox. It all works fine, except for one small detail... It seems sometimes a connection is made, but the data isn't being sent or read (can't work out w...
It is widely known that a network packet can be sent forcely to a designated port(a physical port in switch hub device) by adding a route table entry. For example, (In Windows Console in host A) c:>route add B mask 255.255.255.255 X Enforces any packet from A to B to go to the host X. However, I recently found that it cannot be done un...
We're developing a windows service which will act as a sort of 'slave' process. This process basically downloads a pdf, splits it into several pdfs then needs to send that pdf back. We're currently using a http request to retrieve the pdf and a number of POSTs to send the files back. This is so the slave service can be run from pretty m...

Hi all, I'm currently trying to develop a network game for XNA (LAN only as no desire to release), however I only own 1 PC. I've been trying many different things but all seem to have failed.

Hi, We're running a x86 Windows 7 Host with another x86 Windows 7 guest OS through Windows Virutal PC. The host machine is configured with 2 network cards - one for the host, one for the guest. However, though we can access the guest on the network, it will NOT connect to the internet. There are some special considerations on the netw...

I want to check the network requests an app is making from my iPhone. It's on the same WiFi network as my computer (or if it makes things easier, I can set it up to use an ad-hoc network). I don't want to see every packet, just the URLs which my iPhone is requesting. I don't care about the returned data all that much. A simple solution ...
